Hyderabad: A sanitation worker of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has donated Rs 10,000 to the Telangana Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.
The big-heart, who draws only Rs 12,000 monthly salary, met Municipal Administration Minister K.T. Rama Rao, here on Tuesday, and handed over his donation.
Her gesture hugely impressed the Minister, who has been receiving huge donations from industrialists and prominent personalities on a daily basis. He appreciated Alivelu for her commitment towards the society and applauded her gesture.
Received a tweet ?couple of days ago from a GHMC worker called Alivelu saying she wants to contribute one month’s salary to CMRF
Intrigued, asked @KTRoffice to arrange a meeting. She came in today with the cheque & insisted that I accept it. Didn’t want anything from my side? pic.twitter.com/J57hocpoiL
